An absolutely delightful and heart-wrenching arc, beginning with Illy seeking Avaris out for a task given to Nocht's Order and turning into the long, gentle tug of the shadows on a broken soul. Will link to Avaris's finale in the comments when it is posted, for continuity and completion, and (if he ever releases them -squint-) intermediary logs.
In which Illyria seeks to talk to a Celestian paladin, specifically a Lantran
https://pastebin.com/pLExx5RdIn which Avaris, broken and cast out, accepts a follow-up invitation to speak, and startling secrets come out (and then are tucked back away)
https://pastebin.com/dR6yijUAIn which Avaris sends a letter via crow, gets an unwanted reply, and Illy sings him the song she's always humming (which I made up on the spot so go easy on me)
https://pastebin.com/Wf13rL0kAnd finally, while meditating in Nocht's Fulcrux, a prompting from Him causes her to reach out once more

Thank you SO MUCH,
@Avaris!!! This was absolutely gorgeous, and the opportunity to really play Illy in all her quiet depth, calculation, and perceptiveness was an incredible treat.
Also thank you- thank You, rather- to
@Nocht, for being wonderfully sinister, and
@Lantra, for
abusing Your devoted follower showing such willingness to take a player's concepts and run with them.
